Hi! Love your blog - in fact, if I had a blog site (which I do, tho it's mainly just a gallery site of my illustration & comic work: http://www.lorenzone.blogspot.com/)...er...where was I? Oh yes, if I had a blog site, I would want it to be just like yours - lol! Totally agreed with your piece on the greatness of vinyl vs digital music too btw, and have enjoyed all the funny comic stuff and cheesy old ads. Plus I've found other great blog sites thanx to your links & friends. Keep up the truly excellent work! Peace
